I'm thinking about changing the way we build packages in separate

mkdir -v ../binutils-build
cd ../binutils-build
../binutils-2.25.1/configure ...
I'm thinking about changing that to:
mkdir -v build
cd build
../configure ...

"First, we highly recommend that GCC be built into a separate directory
from the sources which does not reside within the source tree. This is how
we generally build GCC; building where srcdir == objdir should still work,
but doesn't get extensive testing; building where objdir is a subdirectory
of srcdir is unsupported."
An additional reason for settling on ../binutils-build was that the
source tree can be reused since gcc, binutils and glibc are built
multiple times (ch 5 and 6).
